4. Select Edit properties from the dropdown menu.
5. Select New property to add a custom field to the database.
6. Select Status from the new property type dropdown.
7. Under To-Do, click Not Started to configure the default status option.
8. Select a color from the dropdown to visually represent that status.
9. Click the Display as dropdown option to set how the status appears on calendar entries.
10. Click Select to confirm the display setting.
11. Exit Edit property to return to the calendar view.
12. Click on a Date in the calendar to add a new content entry.
13. Name your content item, such as Create an FB Reel.
14. Repeat the same process to add more content entries to your calendar.
15. Your content calendar is now ready in Notion, with a status property to track each piece.
